Reard Builds Through Sakai
Niveau 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Alexandre Reard earned value from Stephen Sakai when he bet out of the big blind on the 9♣5♣5♠3♦9♠ river. Sakai paid off 400,000 and mucked when he was shown the J♠9♥.
Once the blinds went up, Sakai raised to 160,000 for the second hand in a row. He first collected the blinds and then saw Reard flat-call on the button. Both checked the Q♣8♠5♦ flop before Sakai check-called the 6♠ turn for 200,000.
The 9♣ river went check, check, and Sakai revealed the 10♣10♠ for a pair of tens. Reard had him pipped by a notch with the J♥J♦ and raked in another pot.
